Every year, September is celebrated as Big Butterfly Month

Updated - October 07, 2024 05:43 pm IST

It is to honour diversity and encourage conservation efforts for the most well-known on the insect world – butterflies. The month is dedicated to recording butterfly counts and observing common species sighted in particular areas- close to your home or in a biodiversity hotspot.

So, why September? Rajat Joshi, the Pune District Co-ordinator, explains that it has to do with the weather patterns at that time of the year.
